The range of all egrets is expanding quite fast. These are lovely in their breeding plumage.

They are quite colourful at the moment Jan, I think this one was a little under the weather though.
Interestingly when it came to resting he went flat onto his front lying down and I have never seen another Egret do that ... typically he did that just as I took the camera out of the bag and I then had to wait until he roused. :)
 
Great bird Roger, don't think I'd have known what that was!

Thanks Phil, we've had up to 6 at various times this year but they are particularly splendid now :)

Thank you Robert, apparently with the change in climate here more species are moving in from warmer areas and making the UK home rather than just a place to visit (Brexit can't affect them, so perhaps we can look forward to more of this trend :D ).
 
Lol yeah hope so, well the Little Egrets are certainly spreading rapidly and saw my first Spoonbills last month in Yorkshire :)
 
fantastic roger
 
Thanks all, my guess is we'll see it/them again quite soon :)
 
Actually just spotted it was there 45 mins ago :)

Thanks Kev, they are certainly coming in 'down south' so who knows ... did you see a pair of Night Herons bred on the Somerset Levels this year?
